Piling up on Laketran?

“Why is Laketran buying new fareboxes? They can’t even run buses on Saturdays!”

It’s a sentiment I’ve seen on this Web site and one you’ve probably heard on the bus, if you ride it. It’s not just related to the fareboxes, though. People say this almost every time Laketran makes a move, be it obtaining federal grants, buying new buses with said grants, updating its scheduling system or announcing that it is nearing a balanced budget.
